Course content
The discipline is a basic discipline that covers the mechanisms of viral infections. An important place is given to clinical issues, principles of diagnosis, prevention and treatment of viral diseases. Individual viral infections, their pathogenesis and epidemiology are considered in detail. The classification of diseases is based on WHO recommendations. The course is designed to summarize the student's ideas about the features of the clinical picture and
pathogenesis of human viral infections at the cellular and organismal level, as well as enable students to master the skills of planning and conducting experimental work using various methods and techniques for diagnosing human viral diseases, statistical processing of data and interpretation of experimental results (both manually and provided by scientific laboratories and / or published in the scientific literature)
